Questions. Quick answers.
Should I send my ex a Valentine message?
Only if you're on friendly terms and you don't expect anything back. If you co-parent or are still friends, a short, kind note is fine. If things are still raw, it's okay to skip it.
What is a nice Valentine message for an ex?
Keep it short, warm and clear. 'Happy Valentine's Day. I hope life is treating you kindly' wishes them well without opening old doors.
What do you write to an ex who is a co-parent on Valentine's Day?
Thank them for being a good parent and for working with you. A note like 'We're still a team where it counts' keeps the focus on the kids.
